YEREVAN. – The situation after the provocations carried out by the Azerbaijani armed forces on May 12 and 13 in some border areas of Syunik and Gegharkunik Provinces of Armenia has not changed considerably as of Wednesday morning, the Defense Ministry informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

It added that these territories, the aforesaid Azerbaijani military, as well as possible ways of securing them continue to be under the full control of the Armenian forces—in all directions of the carrying out of this provocation.

Moreover, in the previous two days, additional units of the Armenian Armed Forces were dispersed to the respective locations, completely depriving the Azerbaijanis of the opportunity to carry out any action—even in theory—, thus leaving solely the return to their starting positions as a solution that is reasonable to them this situation.

Nevertheless, negotiations on a peaceful settlement of this issue are still ongoing, and the Ministry of Defense of Armenia is full of hope that they will give the desired result, and the situation will be resolved peacefully.

At the same time, as it has already been announced, in the absence of a solution to this issue within a reasonable time, the Armed Forces of Armenian reserve the right to resolve this issue by other means, including force.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
